MJ Safaris & Adventure provided the amazing, customized experience I was looking for. + I summited.
I went with MJ Safaris for my climb of the Lemosho route on Kilimanjaro and I couldn’t be happier my experience. Jackson and Noela’s communication was excellent, I was comfortable with all the details of my arrangement and all the logistics involved, the gear provided, the information regarding the route, etc.
My guide Dennis was absolutely amazing, keeping my spirits high, answering all my questions and addressing all my concerns, and providing great information about the flora and fauna on Kilimanjaro along the way, without being overbearing or providing TMI. He balanced everything quite well, which reflected his deep mountaineering background and tremendous experience on Kili, having summitted over 60 times in the past. He was polite, professional, down to earth, compassionate, and simply a joy to do this expedition with. I feel very fortunate to have been paired with Dennis.
Christian, my new Rafiki, was awesome around camp, from setting up my private dining tent and portable toilet (which, if you’re still deciding on, GO FOR IT, you do NOT want to be locating public Kili bathrooms in the middle of the night, in high wind, at altitude, on rocky unfamiliar terrain, only to come upon the nastiest toilets (not actually toilets but literally an enclosed, disgusting hole in the ground) you’ll ever encounter in your life. Get the private / tented bathroom!!), to serving all of my delicious meals and condiments, hot tea in my tent upon request, coffee ready and waiting in the morning, etc. The whole crew (including guide Dennis, Christian, and several additional porters) were awesome, I was 100% cared for, supported, and I truly felt like it was a team effort and they were all personally invested in me getting to the summit. You could tell it was a victory for them, me getting to the top, they took pride in it.
If you’re looking for a smaller operator that really cares and supports you in every way, go with MJ Safaris and work with Jackson. Oh, btw , the hotel they put you up at in Moshi, TZ., called the Mariadi, is an absolute gem. Small, well kept, beautifully landscaped, tranquil and clean pool area, delicious breakfast buffet, etc. This was a great hidden benefit I was not expecting as part of this package but looking back I'm very grateful for.
Dennis, Christian and team, thank you all once again. I’ll never forget my time on Kilimanjaro and how comfortable you guys made me feel while climbing a 19,000 + foot mountain.

Excellent, affordable and experienced.
I recently fulfilled a dream by climbing Mt Kilimanjaro via the Lemosho route. I booked for a 7 day trek and every part of the journey was seamless, from the entire booking process right through to my arrival, the trek and my departure. Some of the best prices you can find compared to others, however I don’t understand where they could possibly have cut corners as the whole experience was perfect. Save your money from booking with the bigger operators and contact these guys. They are KPAP certified, have excellent guides, porters, chefs, and management/bookings team. The hotel included for before and after is perfect. The entire trek was amazing, with my highly experienced guide Juma making it easy to get through each day and make it to the summit and down with no problems. The food was delicious and beyond enough portions wise. The porters were friendly and extremely hard working and my tent etc. was large, warm and comfortable. Would recommend these guys to anyone looking to travel to Tanzania for Mt Kilimanjaro, other hikes or safaris. You have my gratitude and praise !! Asante sana
